Pain after blood test?

I had my booking midwife appointment 11 days ago and they did the routine bloods. My arm (especially my upper arm) is incredibly achy and hurts to move. Sometimes it feels a bit tingly as well, I've never experienced pain like this after a blood test! Is this normal?

Pregnant or not, that doesn't sound right. I usually get a little bruising near the site of the needle, but no pain. Why not pop into a pharmacy, they can usually see you right away for free? (assuming you are in the UK)

Pain 11 days after the blood test? Definitely doesn't sound normal
